Introduction Cosmetological treatment with Q.Light
®
Q.Light Photo Therapy is a valuable and optimal supplementation for many cosmetic treatments.
01
Q.Light Photo Therapy is a optimal supplementation for many cosmetological treatment methods, holistic wellness-treatments as well as to support regeneration and healing processes. The treatment with Q.Light supports, among other things, various phases of the skin’s natural regeneration potential. It is inflammation retarding, pain reducing, improves perfusion, assists the development of new blood vessels, enhances lymphatic drainage and triggers general metabolic activity. Q.Light Photo Therapy can easily be combined with standard-treatment concepts. It also supports active cosmetic substances to penetrate faster and deeper into the skin. The application with use of the specially developed Q.Light SKIN CARE Modules supports the requested effects for a defined treatment due to the exact tuned spectrum of the specialized filter modules.
With the indicated treatments no side effects or contraindications are known to date. General biological effects related with the Q.Light Photo Therapy: – Activation of local and systemic microcirculation – Enhancement of oxygen transport into skin and tissue – Optimizes permeability of cell membrane – Improvement of cell metabolism – Stimulates lymphatic activity – Regulates hormonal system
Cosmetic Treatment Modules Biophysical effectiveness
As a consequence of the Q.Light treatment, collagen and elastine, which are mainly reconcilable for tight and toned looking skin, are stimulated. Furthermore inflammations can be retarded, immunity is strengthened and metabolic processes are triggered. All these processes are deeply involved in skin regeneration. First hand experience reports promise considerable improvement of the skins condition, like smoothness and suppleness, moisture and colour. Skin irritations, which are often hormonal related, can decay. Redness due to various causes, for example, maybe provoked after cosmetic application, regenerate normally more quickly after application of Q.Light treatment.
These good results are achieved by the penetration and absorption of photons by skin and tissue. The different wavelengths of light, penetrate skin and tissue in a differentiated manner. All biological systems have a specific absorption spectrum. To produce a biological effect, they determine which wavelength of the emitted light is absorbed. The unique Q.Light SKIN CARE Modules each have a specially defined spectrum tuned for its specific application range.

General Skin Care with Q.Light SKIN CARE Module ®
The Q.Light SKIN CARE Module was especially developed for a broad band of cosmetological applications. Due to stimulation of skin repair mechanisms, support of metabolism as well as activation of collagen and elastine fibre production, a younger, smoother and healthier skin is achieved.
Q.Light SKIN CARE treatment is especially recommended for: – tired and dull looking skin – skin with insufficient blood circulation – skin with tendency to impurity – treatment of skin irritations – itchy and nervous feeling skin – dry skin – tense feeling skin Biological effectiveness: – Activates local microcirculation – Supports oxygen supply to skin and tissue – Optimises permeability of cell membrane – Improvement of the skins absorption potential for active cosmetic substances

Anti Ageing Treatment with Q.Light Anti Ageing Module ®
04
The Q.Light ANTI AGEING Module was especially developed for dermatocosmetic applications. Skin conditions due to natural aging processes, due to UV-radiation, poor nutrition or smoking can be positively and visually improved.
Q.Light ANTI AGEING treatment is especially recommended for: – Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles – Retarding of ageing processes – Enhancing of microcirculation – Stimulation and regulation of the skins repair mechanisms – Treatment of tired and dull looking skin – Combined application together with Anti Ageing Creams or Ampoules
Blood flow
Biological effectiveness: – Activation of local and systemic microcirculation – Stimulation of skin repair mechanism – Support of collagen and elastine fibre production – Optimizes and deepens the effect of anti ageing products
The significant, positive effect of the treatment with the Q.Light ANTI AGEING Module is basically due to the up to 45 % enhanced microcirculation in skin and tissue. The clear improved perfusion in blood capillaries, the higher concentration of growth factors for cell renewal and optimized oxygen transport function of circulating blood, leads to renewal and reactivation of skin and tissue cells. Furthermore the natural moisture production of cells is supported. As a result of these effects the treated skin looks and feels younger, smoother and very supple.

Due to the scientific proven enhancement of microcirculation and regulation of metabolic processes of fatty cells, weakness of connective tissue is reduced, lymphatic drainage is reactivated and waste products are flushed away. The tissue can regenerate itself, the skin becomes smooth and toned and stored contents of fat captured in cells are diminished. Visible toning and tightening of the connective tissue is the result without any surgical operation.

Acne Treatment with Q.Light ACNE CARE Module ®
Q.Light ACNE CARE Module is especially designed for the natural and side effect free photodynamic treatment of mild and moderate acne for Dermatologists, Cosmetic Institutes and for treatment and after care at home.
06
The main applications for the Q.Light ACNE CARE are: Mild and moderate – Common Acne – Acne Vulgaris: Acne Comedonica Acne Papulopustulosa Acne Conglobata Q.Light ACNE CARE kills on a biological manner the involved P. Acne bacteria with the emitted UV free polarized light with a spectrum of 385–500 nm.
Acne before treatment with Q.Light
Acne after treatment with Q.Light
Photodynamic effect: The pigment porphorin is a metabolic product coming from the propioni acnes bacteria (P. acne bacteria). Due to the treatment with Q.Light ACNE CARE porphorin is produced by the P. acne bacteria. Porphorin molecules absorb the emitted photons. By doing so, oxygen radicals are released. These free redicals destroy the cell membrane of the P. acne bacteria and kills it.
With Q.Light ACNE CARE treatment inflammations are retarded, sebum production is regulated and the skin picture is visually improved.
